Bracebridge's wetlands 

NATURAL SOLUTION, FIRST LINE OF PROTECTION AGAINST CLIMATE CHANGE

The importance of wetlands is often overlooked.
Wetlands help to:
  • Control flooding
  • Provide habitat for wildlife
  • Act as a pollution filter protecting our water quality 
  • Absorb carbon to help us fight climate change

Threatened by development

ONTARIO WETLANDS EVALUATION NEEDED

The wetlands of South Bracebridge are currently threatened by a proposed development. This land is suspected to be a provincially significant and complex wetland, but has never been evaluated in order to receive this official classification. 

We are asking the town to require an Ontario Wetlands Evaluation to determine if the subject wetlands should be protected as significant wetlands.

​We can't put wetlands back after they have been destroyed. Let's take the time to do this right.
